Thermo Scientific Seradyn OptiBind particles have been optimized for maximum reactivity in many diagnostic applications. Optin-Bind particles can be used in turbidimetric/nephelometric assays, slide agglutination assays, chemiluminescent assays and in clinical diagnostics and molcular biology applications.
Product Detail
OptiBind Polystyrene particles can be used direct from the bottle, without any pre-cleaning, for most applications. Our production does not utilize common surfactants (like SDS, Tween 20, Triton X-100) that can interfere with protein binding to particle surfaces. Polystyrene surfaces are very hydrophobic and adsorb proteins almost instantaneously. Our proprietary anionic surfactant does not interfere with the binding of proteins nor cause proteins to desorb from microparticle surfaces. OptiBind particles are available in a wide range of diameters (from 0.1 μM to 2.5 μM). Key properties of the OptiBind particles are no pre-washing, tight size distribution – CV <2%, optimized colloidal stability and have a shelf-life of 10 years.
Whenusing OptiBind particles ask about our Microparticle Reagent Optimization manual, which outlines our reagent development strategy. This manual includes validated binding, coupling and particle reagent optimization protocols. to see an overview of this manual, click on the Microparticle Reagent Optimization manual link located on the left.
OptiBind Polystyrene particles are available in different concentrations and package sizes upon request.
Sample Evaluation Packs :
These evaluation packs allow you to buy small samples from among our standard inventory of different surfaces, colors, sizes and binding capacities at greatly reduced prices. OptiBind particles are packaged in 15 mL bottles at 10% solids. The evaluation pack consists of three lots from all available OptiBind polystyrene particles.
